Based on a google search I've concluded that the only places you can buy this product are eBay and Amazon.com, and only through a third party seller at Amazon.com. Therefore it's obvious that this is not a real Playmobil product and the OP is a moron.

An article at The Register contains a link to the product at Playmobil's website. The link is a year old and dead now, but that just suggests that the toy was discontinued.

sadly, a lot of buyers think this way :(

Apparently, some of these buyers live in a magical fantasyland where toys manufactured 10 or 20 or even 2 years ago are still carried at their local Target. Prepare to be regaled with stories about how Billy found that M.A.S.K. motorcycle last week at Walmart, and Johnny found an original Transformers Jetfire hidden behind the rubbermaid containers in aisle 14 yesterday

:D

Where is the Playmobil Pound Me In The Ass Prison where that terrorist is going?

I thought this might be a couple Humvees, Soldiers, and shot up civilian vehicles.

That didn't seem bad, just a normal part of any Airport.

I was a little disappointed when I first bought this item, because the functionality is limited. My 5 year old son pointed out that the passenger's shoes cannot be removed. Then, we placed a deadly fingernail file underneath the passenger's scarf, and neither the detector doorway nor the security wand picked it up. My son said "that's the worst security ever!". But it turned out to be okay, because when the passenger got on the Playmobil B757 and tried to hijack it, she was mobbed by a couple of other heroic passengers, who only sustained minor injuries in the scuffle, which were treated at the Playmobil Hospital.
The best thing about this product is that it teaches kids about the realities of living in a high-surveillence society. My son said he wants the Playmobil Neighborhood Surveillence System set for Christmas. I've heard that the CC TV cameras on that thing are pretty worthless in terms of quality and motion detection, so I think I'll get him the Playmobil Abu-Gharib Interogation Set instead (it comes with a cute little memo from George Bush).
